different sites and conditions

• No chamfer required

• Strength of product and impact

resistance means site handling iseasier

• Ease of jointing means faster

installation

Strength

• Tough corrugated outer wall

provides strength and impactresistance, while smooth inner wall

gives optimum hydraulic flow

• Robust pipes can be used in almostsite conditions

• Flexible pipe gives the ability to

cope with soil movement and more

construction equipment trafficwithout cracking. More forgiving

than rigid pipes

• SewerPRO® pipes are classified

SN10 with a minimum stiffness of 10,000 N/m.m. StormPRO® pipes

are classified SN8 with a minimum

stiffness of 8,000 N/m.m.

Easy to handle

• Lightweight product makes handling

and positioning pipes easier and

safer. Less safety risk as pipes arelighter

• Less heavy equipment needed to

Adapts to soil movements more forgivingthan rigid pipes and less

environmental impact from leakage

• Vinidex SewerPRO® andStormPRO® pipes are flexible. This

means that as vertical loads are

applied the pipe will deflect and take

advantage of horizontal soil pressureto provide additional support. After

initial compaction and settlement,

applied vertical loads have very littleeffect on deflection.

• Rigid pipes such as steel reinforced

concrete pipes do not deflect and are

designed to carry all applied verticalloads caused by soil and traffic. The

surrounding soil provides little or no

horizontal support to a rigid pipe. Notwithstanding this, proper

placement and compaction of

bedding material around rigid pipesis critical in minimising the load on

the pipe.

• Flexible pipes have some ability to

deform without structural damageand provide designers and installers

with a range of advantages. As

flexible pipes transfer load through

deflection, loading outside design parameters leads mostly to

deformation without structural

damage.

• Overloading results in cracking of

rigid pipes. Flexible pipes provide a

substantial insurance for operational

conditions.

• A 2005 European study examined



unload, handle product on site and

position into trenches

• Long lengths means less joints

needed

• Simple and effective joints means noleaks and more secure than old

materials (concrete)

• Easy to join pipes together

• Pipes can be cut to any lengthrequired

Simple and effective joints means no leaks

and more secure than old materials

(concrete)

• Push-fit compression rubber ring

joints

• Easy to join pipes together

• The joint is simple, precise and

reliable

• Pipes can be cut to any length

required

• Rings do not roll and cannot be

displaced

• The rubber ring is located on thespigot in the last trough between the

corrugations.

• Leak-tightness and protection againsttree-root intrusion

the issue of leaking sewers which

have significant environmental

consequences.

Its objective was to determine which pipe

material could better fulfil the requirementsof sustainability in the broadest sense –

operational and environmental.

The study examined CCTV footage of approximately 1800km of buried pipes in

service, limited to those pipes installed in

the last 30 years. The study includedconcrete and clay pipes (rigid pipes) and

various plastic pipes including

polypropylene (flexible pipes). Infiltration

and exfiltration were recognised as the principal causes of environmental impact

during the service life of a sewer network.

The conclusions of the study were:

• In service, flexible pipes perform better than rigid pipes. Flexible

pipelines are significantly less likely

to have defects than are rigid pipes.

• Installation of flexible pipelinesystems significantly reduces risk to

the environment caused by

infiltration and exfiltration*

Optimum hydraulic performance

• SewerPRO®'s smooth inner skinallows optimum hydraulic flow

• The surface is resistant to build-up

Able to be used in aggressive or saline

soils

in domestic or industrial applications

• Abrasion resistance

• SewerPRO® polypropylene pipe isresistant to corrosion by aggressivesoils and substances typically found

in sewage effluent, including most

industrial discharges

• Chemical resistance offers the abilityto use in soils affected by salinity or

other aggressive soils. This

minimises soil restoration activityand costs.

• This is a big advantage where saline

soil is increasingly an issue for pipe

system designers. SewerPRO® doesnot need to have special liners or

sacrificial inner skins.

Dimensions & effective lengths

StormPRO® and SewerPRO® are available in spigot/socket configuration (Sp/So) in 6m

and 3m nominal lengths respectively. The effective length of pipes is the overall length



minus the insertion depth into the socket. The effective lengths of StormPRO® and

SewerPRO® given below in Table 5:

Joint details

StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes have a simple and effective rubber ring joint system

which is easy to assemble, leak-tight and protects against tree root intrusion. The rubber

ring is located on the spigot in the last trough between the corrugations. Figure B showsthe joint in cross section. For sizes DN150 to DN600, the pipe can be cut to length as

required anywhere along the barrel and the same jointing system used. For pipe sizes

DN750 and DN900, couplings are available for cut pipe.

Chemical resistance



StormPRO® and SewerPRO® polypropylene pipes are resistant to corrosion by

aggressive soils and substances typically found in sewage effluent, including mostindustrial discharges. Therefore, the question of chemical resistance is likely to arise only

if the pipes are used in unusual circumstances.

Chemical resistance is affected by concentration, temperature, period of contact andstress. Polypropylene is resistant to weak inorganic acids, organic acids, alcohols,

ammonia and oxidising salts and has limited resistance to aliphatic hydrocarbons, esters,

ketones and ethers.Polypropylene is generally not recommended for aromatic and halogenated

hydrocarbons. For more details or to check resistance to specific chemicals, refer to the

Vinidex Chemical Resistance Guide (VIN 067) on our website www.vinidex.com.au/

page/technical_support.html.

Temperature

StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes have high temperature resistance. Continuousservice temperatures of up to 60°C and short term applications of up to 90°C will not

adversely affect the performance.

Weathering resistance

StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes are manufactured from compounds containingadditives which ensure their resistance to ultraviolet light and weathering during handling

and storage.

Manufacture

StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes incorporate the latest manufacturing technologyusing continuous polypropylene dual extrusion combined with a vacuum controlled

corrugating process. The twin-wall structure consists of simultaneously extruded smooth

inner wall and corrugated outer wall.

http://www.vinidex.com.au/page/auto/1225075430:7595:6222:40206214.html







At the valley of each corrugation, where the inner and outer walls meet, the two surfaces

are fused together for the full circumference of the pipe.

Standards

StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes are manufactured in accordance with AS/NZS 5065:

"Polyethylene and Polypropylene pipes and fittings for drainage and sewerageapplications", complying with the dimensional requirements of Type B pipes - ID series.

AS/NZS 5065 classifies pipes according to their minimum ring-bending stiffness in short

term laboratory tests.This is a measure of the ability of a pipe to resist deformation due to an external load.

Stiffness classes are identified by an SN number where a higher number indicates greater

resistance to deflection.

SewerPRO® pipes are classified as SN10 with a minimum stiffness of 10,000 N/m.m.

StormPRO® pipes are classified as SN8 with a minimum stiffness of 8000 N/m.m.

DESIGN

Hydraulic designStormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes are normally sized to accommodate maximumdesign discharge when flowing full.

The discharge rates in Figure C below for StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes flowing

full are based on the Colebrook-White formula which is recognised by engineersthroughout the world as the most accurate basis for hydraulic design over a wide range of

flow conditions.

The Colebrook-White formula expresses velocity as:

In addition to friction losses in the pipeline, a pressure drop will occur due to energy loss

at any change in the direction of flow or pipeline cross section. In long pipelines, these"form losses" are usually small in comparison to friction losses. However, they may be

considerable in pipelines with many fittings or in short pipes such as in culvert

applications, where entry and exit losses may dominate. For more information on formlosses, consult the Vinidex Flow Charts (VIN015 and

VIN039) http://www.vinidex.com.au/page/technical_support.html.






Choice of roughness coefficients

AS2200 - Design charts for water supply and sewerage - recommends k values in therange 0.003 to 0.015mm for clean, concentrically jointed thermoplastics pipes and

AS3500.3 - National plumbing and drainage, Part 3 Stormwater drainage - specifies

0.015mm for design of plastics stormwater pipe drains for normal conditions.

However, it is important to note that factors such as slime growth and accumulation of

debris can affect the selection of roughness coefficient in some circumstances.

In addition, local utilities may have preferred values for design of their systems. For flow

under alternative conditions contact Vinidex or use the Vinidex Friction Loss in UniformFluid Flow (FLUFF) software, http://www.vinidex.com.au/page/technical_support.html.

For partial flow, consult Figure C for adjustment factors.





Structural Design

Under general gravity drainage and sewer pipe laying conditions, detailed calculations

predicting pipe performance are not necessary. Following an extensive study of installed pipe performance, the European Plastic Pipe and Fitting Association (TEPPFA)

concluded that final deflection of pipes was controlled by the settlement of the soil after

installation. Where installation was controlled, or self-compacting granular material were

used, pipe deflections were consistently low regardless of installation depth and traffic or other loads.

Where StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes are to be installed in normal conditions at

depths up to 6m such that the depth to diameter ratio is at least 2, design calculations are

not required. Simply following the recommended installation procedures will ensure thatdeflections are controlled. This is particularly true for installations under roadways,

where the level of compaction required to prevent subsidence of the pavement also

provides a highly supportive structural environment for the pipe.



For unusual conditions, or depths greater than 6 metres, design calculations may be

performed in accordance with AS/NZS 2566.1. The structural design aspects of buried

flexible pipes to be considered are vertical deflection, ring bending strain and buckling.

The following typical values may be used in pipe design:

INSTALLATION

GeneralVinidex StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes are twin-wall, corrugated polypropylene pipes for non-pressure applications, and can be installed in non-trafficable and trafficable

areas, including under road pavements.

Our general information for the safe installation of Vinidex StormPRO® andSewerPRO® pipes. For more detailed information refer to AS/NZS 2566.2 "Buried

flexible pipelines: Part 2, Installation". When designed and installed correctly, Vinidex

StormPRO® and SewerPRO® systems will provide continuous service in excess of 50

years.

Flexible pipes

Vinidex StormPRO® and SewerPRO® are flexible pipes. This means that as vertical

loads are applied, the pipe will deflect and take advantage of horizontal soil pressure to provide additional support. After initial compaction and settlement, applied vertical loads

have very little effect on deflection.

Rigid pipes, such as steel reinforced concrete pipes do not deflect, and are designed tocarry all applied vertical loads caused by soil and traffic. The surrounding soil provides

little or no horizontal support to a rigid pipe.

Notwithstanding this, proper placement and compaction of bedding material around rigid

pipes is critical in minimising the load on the pipe.Flexible pipes have some ability to deform without structural damage and provide

designers and installers with a wide range of advantages.

The structural action and design methodology of flexible pipes is well understood. Their use in all buried applications and particularly under road pavements is well established

throughout the world and in Australia. As flexible pipes transfer load through deflection,

loading outside design parameters leads mostly to deformation without structuraldamage. Overloading results in cracking of rigid pipes. Flexible pipes provide a

substantial insurance for operational conditions outside design parameters.



Handling & storage

Being manufactured from tough polypropylene, StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes are

robust and are suitable for use in most site conditions. The pipes are relatively lightweight and can generally be manhandled. Care should always be taken when pipes are

loaded, unloaded, stacked or distributed on sites.When pipes are lifted mechanically, web or rope slings should be used. Pipes should not

be allowed to overhang by more than 1 metre. Transport should not have sharp

projections which could cause damage to pipes. Pipes should not be dragged along theground as this can damage the pipe, causing difficulty with jointing and testing.

StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes should be stacked on flat firm ground, which has

been cleared of debris. Pipes should be laid flat on transverse bearers at least 75mm wideat maximum 1.5m centres.

Pipe sockets should be supported so that the ends are free from loading, with sockets ineach layer opposite to the previous layer. Different sizes are best stacked separately. If

this is not practical, then stack with the largest pipes at the base. Framed crates must bestored timber on timber and may go up three crates but should not exceed 3m in height. If

pipes are to be nested for long periods, stacks should not exceed 2m in height.

Rubber rings should be stored away from direct sunlight or weathering. Rubber rings

should never be placed on the ends of pipes which are being stored.

Trench dimensions

Preparation

The trench should not be excavated too

far in advance of pipe laying and should be backfilled as soon as possible.

Minimum Trench Width

The trench width should be as narrow as

is practicable, but wide enough to allowadequate compaction of the haunch zone.

Pipes in Parallel

Where pipes are laid in parallel,

the minimum spacings between

pipelines are given in Table 13 below.



Table - 13 Minimum spacings between parallel pipelines

Nominal Diameter

(mm)

150 225 300 375 450 525 600 750 900

Minimum Spacing

(mm)150 150 200 200 300 300 300 300 350

The trench should be excavated deep enough to allow for the specified grade, the required

depth of underlay and the minimum cover.

Allowable deflection

Minimum cover Table 14 reflects industry standards in relation to minimum depth.StormPRO® and SewerPRO® are not limited to these industry norms and designersshould refer to Vinidex engineers if reduced cover is required.

The prime influence on deflection is quality of installation, with depth of cover, pipe

stiffness, and pipe material being of relatively minor importance. An intensive study of the deflection history of pipes installed under different conditions, in service for up to 25years, has resulted in a simple pipe design graph for buried thermoplastics pipes. This

graph predicts the maximum long term pipe deflection at up to 6m depth of cover

(including traffic loading) for pipe of a given stiffness, with moderately compactedgranular bedding material placed as follows:



• Bedding material placed and compacted around the pipe to 87% to 94% dry

density ratio, in layers of maximum 500mm thickness, to a minimum depth over

the pipe of 150mm;

For greater than 6m depth of cover, improved compaction standards are required, and the

bedding requirements are as follows:

• Bedding material placed and compacted around the pipe to a minimum 94% dry

density ratio, in layers of maximum 300mm thickness, to a minimum depth over the pipe of 150mm;

Where other design parameters may be critical, such as high water table, refer AS/NZS

2566.1. Vinidex recommends a design deflection limit of 10% as suggested in ISO

21138.1. For other conditions, such as increased trench widths and compaction standards,contact Vinidex for advice.

Jointing

The following procedure is recommended when joining StormPRO® and SewerPRO®rubber ring jointed pipes:

Step 1

Clean the pipe socket and

spigot end, making sure both

are free of any dirt and grit.

Step 2

Install the rubber ring by

stretching it over the spigot

so that it sits between the

first and second

corrugations from the

spigot end.

Step 3

Ensure rubber ring is

evenly fitted by running

fingers around the full

circumference of the pipe.



Step 4

Apply a generous amount of

Vinidex jointing lubricant to

the inside of the socket.

Avoid getting lubricant

under the rubber ring.

Step 5

Insert the leading edge of

the spigot into the

receiving socket. It is

essential that pipes are in a

straight line before

attempting to make the joint.

Step 6

Do not apply jointing force

directly to the socket.

Insert a short piece of pipe

in the socket. The short

piece can be an off-cut,

50mm longer than thesocket, and can be re-used.

Step 7

Apply even jointing force.

Subject to pipe diameter and

local conditions, use a

crowbar to push on a timber

block on the end of the short

pipe.

Step 8

Push home the pipe until

the spigot end comes into

contact with the inner wall

of the socket.

NOTE:

The pipe may be deflected

at the joint after jointing

has been completed. Any

deflection should be limited

to a maximum of 3°.



Cutting of pipes

StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes may be cut anywhere along their length as required.The cut should be made in the valley between the corrugations at right angles to the axis

of the pipe using a suitable saw. A chamfer is not required.

Selection of embedment material

Embedment material for StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes should preferably be

granular, free-flowing material. This type of embedment material requires less

compactive effort to provide support for the pipe and minimise soil settlement. The mostcommon embedment material is 5-7mm crushed rock. A typical grading is shown in

Table 15.

Table 15 - Typical 5-7m crushed rock grading

Sieve Size (mm) 9.5 6.7 4.75 2.36 1.18

% Passing by Mass 100 85-100 30-85 0-30 0-5

Where sand is more readily available, a typical sand grading is shown in Table 16 below.

Table 15 - Typical sand grading

For further information refer to AS/NZS 2566.2.

Placing & compacting embedment material



The bedding material should be placed and graded to invert level, and compacted as

required. In conditions where the trench bottom is wet, soft or irregular, it may be

necessary to first stabilise, fill and level, and compact the base. Place and compactmaterial in the pipe bedding zone to minimum depth of 75mm beneath the pipe.

In order to ensure uniform support along the pipe barrel, a small indentation should be

excavated in the pipe bedding zone to accommodate the pipe sockets. The pipe sidesupport material should be placed evenly on both sides of the pipeline and compacted

such that relative compaction is consistent with design. Side support material should be

worked under the sides of the pipe to minimise voids and provide maximum pipehaunching, taking care to minimise distortion of the pipe and maintain alignment and

grade. The pipe overlay material should be levelled and compacted in layers, to a

minimum height of 150mm above the crown of the pipe, or as specified.

Backfilling

Backfill should be placed on the pipe overlay and compacted as specified but generally

not in layers in excess of 300mm. Complete the backfilling operation to finished surfacelevel.

Connection to structures

StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes may generally be connected to rigid structures

without the use of short rocker pipes. StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes have sufficient

flexibility and strain tolerance to accommodate differential settlement at the interface.The figure below shows a typical entry or exit to a concrete structure.



Where short rocker pipes are specified, either in 300mm or 600mm lengths, these should

be installed as shown below. The most cost effective method is to cut pipe off-cuts to

length on site, and join with plain couplings. Note that sanded shorts are not required asthe corrugated pipe provides an adequate keying action into the concrete.

Above ground installation

For above-ground applications StormPRO® must be adequately supported in order to prevent sagging and excessive distortion. Clamp, saddle, angle, spring or other standard

types of supports and hangers may be used where necessary.Pipe hangers should not be over-tightened. StormPRO® should be supported at regular

intervals as detailed below, always with one support located directly behind the socket.

These support spacings are based on StormPRO® carrying water at 20ºC. Note thatwhere temperatures in excess of 20ºC are likely, the support spacing should be reduced.

Table 17 - Minimum Horizontal Support Spacing

Nominal Diameter (mm) 150 225 300 375 450 600 750 900

Minimum Horizontal Support Spacing (m) 1.25 1.60 1.90 2.15 2.50 2.75 3.00 3.00

The supports should provide a bearing surface of 120º under the base of the pipes and

should be at least two corrugations wide. The pipes should be protected from damage atthe supports with the provision of a membrane of PE, PVC or rubber.



Stormwater connections

The Vinidex PROgrommet® range of stormwater service connections provide 100mm

and 150mm diameter connections to StormPRO® pipe up to 900mm nominal diameter.

The following procedure is recommended when installing the PROgrommet®:

1. Drill hole in StormPRO® pipe using the PROsaw®. Hole centre must be located

in the valley between corrugations.

2. Inspect marking on PROgrommet® to ensure the correct size for selectedStormPRO® pipe.

3. Present PROgrommet® to hole with PROgrommet® flange to the inside and

locating wings to the outside of the StormPRO® pipe.4. Squash the PROgrommet® by hand whereby the two locating wings align in the

centre.5. With the flattened PROgrommet®, form a "C" shape and offer it to the prepared

hole

6. Position locating wings in the valley of the StormPRO® pipe profile.

7. Apply Vinidex Lubricant to the inside diameter of the PROgrommet®

8. Cut lead-in chamfer on pipe which is to be offered to PROgrommet®9. Mark a line on pipe showing the required insertion depth

10. Apply Vinidex Lubricant to outside diameter of pipe.

11. Insert prepared pipe to pre-marked insertion depth

Leakage test

Leakage testing is carried out to identify installation faults and sources of infiltration and

exfiltration in pipelines which are required to be water tight such as sewerage systems.Leakage testing is generally not required for stormwater drains. AS/NZS 2566.2 specifies

detailed procedures for leakage testing using hydrostatic testing, air or vacuum testing or

infiltration testing of non pressure pipelines. These methods are summarised as below. Notwithstanding this, leakage testing should be carried out in accordance with local

authority requirements.



Method 1: Hydrostatic Test

Fill the pipeline with water and pressurise to not less than 20kPa at the highest point of

the section being tested, but not greater than 60kPa at the lowest point of the test section.Maintain the test pressure for at least two hours by adding measured volumes of water if

required. Each joint should be carefully examined visually for leaks, and any defects

should be repaired. The pipeline section is deemed satisfactory if the make-up volume isless that 0.5L per hour per metre length per metre diameter. After any repairs, the

pipeline should be re-tested.

Method 2: Air Test

Introduce air slowly by suitable means until a pressure of 25kPa is obtained. Maintain for

a period of at least 3 minutes. If no leaks are observed after 3 minutes, shut off the air

supply. If the pressure of air contained in the pipes under test does not fall below 18kPawithin the time period specified in Table 17 below, the pipeline shall be considered

satisfactory. If, however, the pressure is not maintained within the specified limits,

reintroduce the air and examine the pipeline for leaks by pouring a concentrated solutionof soft soap and water over the joints and fittings. Identify and repair any leaks. After anyrepairs, the pipeline should be re-tested.

Method 3: Vacuum Test

Apply a vacuum until a negative pressure of 25kPa is obtained. Maintain for a period of

at least 3 minutes. If no leaks are observed after 3 minutes, isolate the test section from

the vacuum pump. Monitor the pressure for the time specified in Table 17. If the vacuum

does not drop below 18kPa within the specified time period, the pipeline shall beconsidered satisfactory. Where the pipeline section fails the test, re-apply the vacuum and

examine the pipeline for leaks. Identify and repair any leaks. After any repairs, the pipeline should be re-tested.

Method 4: Infiltration Test

Where there is a free standing water table at a height of at least 1.5m above the test

section, an infiltration test can be carried out. Observe the pipe for 24 hours. Whereinfiltration is detected, the leak should be identified and repaired.

Cut Ins & repairs

Cut-Ins

To cut into an existing buried StormPRO® or SewerPRO® pipeline and install a

socketed junction or other socketed fitting, the following procedure should be adopted:

1. Expose the existing pipe and cut out a length equal to the effective length of the

fitting, plus approximately 600mm.

2. Connect 300mm long short pipes to the junction sockets and fit rubber rings to thespigot ends of the short pipes.

3. Fit slip couplings to the cut ends of the existing pipe and install junction.

Repairs

When selecting the required repair method, it is necessary to differentiate between minor and more extensive damage. Minor or localised damage should be limited to small holes

in the pipe. In these situations, bolt tensioned wrap-around stainless steel repair fittings

can be used. It is important to note that this type of fitting has no positive stop and mustonly be tightened in accordance with the manufacturers' torque settings. Damage caused

by excavation or other machinery will inevitably affect the structural integrity of the pipe

and should be cut out and replaced using slip couplings.
